thesaker | We are hard-coded to be credulous and uncritically accept all the
demonization of Nazis and Soviets because we are Jews and White
Russians. Careful here, I am NOT saying that the Nazis and Soviets were
not evil – they definitely were – but what I am saying is that we, Jews
and Russians, are far more willing to accept and endorse any version of
history which makes the Nazis and Soviets some kind of exceptionally
evil people and that, in contrast, we almost instinctively reject any
notion that “our” side (in this case I mean *your* side, the American
one since you, unlike me, consider yourselves American) was just as bad
(if only because your side never murdered Jews and Russians). So let’s
look at this “our/your side” for a few minutes.

By the time the USA entered WWII it had already committed the worse
crime in human history, the poly-genocide of an entire continent,
followed by the completely illegal and brutal annexation of the lands
stolen from the Native Americans. Truly, Hitler would have been proud.
But that is hardly all, the Anglo invaders then proceeded to wage
another illegal and brutal war of annexation against Mexico from which
they stole a huge chunk of land which includes modern Texas, California,
Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico! Yes, all this land was illegally
occupied and stolen by your side not once, but TWICE! And do I even need
to mention the horrors of slavery to add to the “moral tally” of your
side by the time the US entered the war? Right there I think that there
is more than enough evidence that your side was morally worse than
either the Nazis or the Soviets. The entire history of the USA is one of
endless violence, plunder, hypocrisy, exploitation, imperialism,
oppression and wars. Endless wars of aggression. None of them defensive
by any stretch of the imagination. That is quite unique in human
history. Can you think of a nastier, more bloodthirsty regime? I can’t.

Should I even mention the British “atrocities tally”, ranging from
opium wars, to the invention of concentration camps, to the creation of
Apartheid, the horrors of the occupation of Ireland, etc. etc. etc.?

I can just hear you say that yes, this was horrible, but that does
not change the fact that in WWII the USA “saved Europe”. But is that
really so?

To substantiate my position, I have put together a separate PDF file
which lists 5 sources, 3 in English, 2 in Russian. You can download it
here:

I have translated the key excerpts of the Russian sources and I am
presenting them along with the key excerpts of the English sources.
Please take a look at this PDF and, if you can, please read the full
original articles I quote. I have stressed in bold red
the key conclusions of these sources. You will notice that there are
some variations in the figures, but the conclusions are, I think,
undeniable. The historical record show that:

The Soviet Union can be credited with the destruction of roughly 80%
of the Nazi military machine. The US-UK correspondingly can be credited
with no more than 20% of the Allied war effort.

The scale and scope of the battles on the Eastern Front completely
dwarf the biggest battles on the Western Front. Battles in the West
involved Divisions and Brigades, in the East they involved Armies and
Groups of Armies. That is at least one order of magnitude of difference.

The USA only entered the war a year after Stalingrad and the Kursk
battle when it was absolutely clear that the Nazis would lose the war.

The truth is that the Americans only entered the war when it was
clear that the Nazis would be defeated and that their real motive was
not the “liberation of oppressed Europe” but to prevent the Soviets from
occupying all of Europe. The Americans never gave a damn about the mass
murder of Jews or Russians, all they cared about was a massive
land-grab (yet again).

[Sidebar: By the way, and lest you think that I claim
that only Americans act this way, here is another set of interesting
dates:
Nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki: August 6 and 9, 1945
Soviet Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation: August 9–20, 1945
We can clearly see the same pattern here: the Soviets waited until it
was absolutely certain that the USA had defeated the Japanese empire
before striking it themselves. It is also worth noting that it took the
Soviets only 10 days to defeat the entire Kwantung Army, the most
prestigious Army of the Japanese Empire with over one million
well-trained and well-equipped soldiers! That should tell you a little
something about the kind of military machine the Soviet Union had
developed in the course of the war against Nazi Germany (see here for a superb US study of this military operation)]

Did the Americans bring peace and prosperity to western Europe?

To western Europe, to some degree yes, and that is because was easy
for them: they ended the war almost “fresh”, their (stolen) homeland did
not suffer the horrors of war and so, yes, they could bring in peanut
butter, cigarettes and other material goods. They also made sure that
Western Europe would become an immense market for US goods and services
and that European resources would be made available to the US Empire,
especially against the Soviet Union. And how did they finance this
“generosity”? By robbing the so-called Third World blind, that’s all. Is
that something to be proud of? Did Lenin not warn as early as 1917 that
“imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism”? The wealth of Western
Europe was built by the abject poverty of the millions of Africans,
Asians and Latin Americas.

But what about the future of Europe and the European people?

There a number of things upon which the Anglos and Stalin did agree
to at the end of WWII: The four Ds: denazification, disarmament,
demilitarisation, and democratisation of a united Germany and
reparations to rebuild the USSR. Yes, Stalin wanted a united, neutral
Germany. As soon as the war ended, however, the Anglos reneged on all of
these promises: they created a heavily militarized West Germany, they
immediately recruited thousands of top Nazi officials for their
intelligence services, their rocket program and to subvert the Soviet
Union. Worse, they immediately developed plans to attack the Soviet
Union. Right at the end of the WWII, Anglo powers had at least THREE
plans to wage war on the USSR: Operation Dropshot, Plan Totality and Operation Unthinkable.
